So, after surveying the responses to my original post it would appear that a good chunk of people consider anything after the PS1/N64 era to be "modern", or in short it seems that it's a general 2 generations back kind of thing. VERY interesting responses though, lot's to think about on my end, but I think that anything PS1/N64 or below could be considered "classic gaming" while anything NES and below could be considered "retro gaming".

Still, awesome feedback by the members here on this subject, hence why I created it to begin with. You all rock!
